From the Cash Flow Management section of the Risk Management series, this text examines the value of money in the context of achieving sound cash flow for any business. Money is examined as an asset, a cost and a resource. While cash can be used to buy resources for a business, it is also a resource in itself, with a cost or value measurable as interest. In essence this book explains the need to control cash, to consider the income earned by investing it and the shrinkage caused by inflation or exchange rate movements.
